Dead Inside
Muse Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

It's like it died long ago

Your lips feel warm to the touch
You can bring me back to life
On the outside you're ablaze and alive
But you're dead inside!

You're free to touch the sky
Whilst I am crushed and pulverized
Because you need control
Now I'm the one who's letting go
You like to give an inch
Whilst I am giving infinity
But now I've got nothing left
You have no cares and I'm bereft

Your skin feels warm to caress
I see magic in your eyes
On the outside you're ablaze and alive
But you're dead inside!

Feel me now, hold me please
I need you to see who I am
Open up to me, stop hiding from me
It's hurting babe
Only you can stop the pain

Don't leave me out in the cold
Don't leave me out to die
I gave you everything
I can't give you anymore
Now I've become just like you

My lips feel warm to the touch
My words seem so alive
My skin is warm to caress
I'll control and hypnotise
You've taught me to lie without a trace
And to kill with no remorse
On the outside I'm the greatest guy
Now I'm dead inside!

Overall Meaning

In "Dead Inside," Muse lead singer Matt Bellamy explores the theme of emotional manipulation and the loss of one's soul. He sing-speaks lines like "draw me into your holiness" and "revere a million prayers," implying that someone has tried to save him or bring him into the light. However, he quickly realizes that "there's nothing there" and that "light only shines from those who share." In other words, true holiness comes from within and cannot be forced upon someone else.

The chorus of the song is a powerful declaration of the singer's realization that the person he was with is no longer capable of true emotion or empathy. He sings, "On the outside you're ablaze and alive, but you're dead inside!" The contrast between the physical appearance of the person and their internal emptiness is striking.

The second half of the song shifts focus to the power dynamic in the relationship. The singer realizes that he has been crushed and pulverized by the other person's need for control. He sings, "You like to give an inch, whilst I am giving infinity. But now I've got nothing left, you have no cares and I'm bereft." He wants the other person to see him for who he really is and to stop hiding from him.

Overall, "Dead Inside" is a haunting exploration of what it means to lose one's soul and to become emotionally dead. It speaks to the power of manipulation and control in relationships, as well as the importance of honesty and genuine emotional connection.

I think Maddie Ziegler's dances in Sia's work are a bit more impressive than this only because there are very few to no edit cuts. Maddie does several minutes of routine without a margin for error. While the dancers in this video are great, could even better than Maddie, there's no real way of telling with how the video is shot.

Not bashing the video. I think the dynamic cuts from the band to the dancer are neat.

2:53 poetry right there... I just cant get over how he delivers it... how he holds back when he says "hold", how he screams from his guts when he says "pain", how he begs her... how he tells her off "Stop hiding from me!" Or accuses her: "YOU've taught me to lie" "and to KILL"... it is such a rare thing to come accross such a perfect interpretation of pain, despair and anger.

@lucasalexandre3767

That's literally one of the best videos MUSE ever made.
I was magnified from the beginning 'till the end, not a single part was wrong, the way they danced seriously captured me, they were so strong but graceful and sensual, the way they included the meaning of the song in their moves was brilliant, plus, the way the room was filled with the representation of the ashes (I guess?), and their eyes... I mean, this video is so simple but so complexed, I truly love it, like the song itself.

My musical taste changes over time. There are bands/artists who have come and go in my life. But Muse has always stayed there. At the very top. For 10 years since the first day I've listened to them. After that, nothing can ever top that. Even in their older materials or newer ones, their music is always so godly powerful.

This song describes PERFECTLY how it is to be in a relationship with a narcissistic person, and what you're left with after getting out of that toxic relationship. I know because I've been in that relationship and I can say, the lyrics are 100% on point... At the beginning it did feel like ''..draw me into your holiness'', he was perfect in my eyes. ''Unleash a million drones - And confine me then erase me babe'' he would accept me and then soon completely changed me. On the outside he was ''ablaze and alive'' but he was truly dead inside, everybody saw him as the most talkative, attractive, compassionate all knowing fun guy to be around, but only I knew it was all for a show - actually dead inside. ''You're free to touch the sky whilst I am crushed and pulverised, because you need control'' a classic narcissist behaviour, he was still acting like a perfect guy while holding me on a leash making me feel i have to be grateful to be with him. I can go on, but I think you get the picture. In the end i am left also dead inside because he drained me. Today, every new relationship i'm in, i present myself as this ''My lips feel warm to the touch , my words seem so alive, my skin is warm to caress, I'll control and hypnotise. You've taught me to lie without a trace and to kill with no remorse. On the outside I'm the greatest guy (girl)'' ... But I'm dead inside... I killed (ended relationships) without remorse...

My god, I felt every single word you said. Without knowing the background to any of this, I also felt that this is what this song might be able. The ending lyrics, “you taught me to lie without a trace and to kill with no remorse”, that’s run very very deep to me because of everything my ex did to me. The world effectively turned against me because of her when she was the problem. I don’t know you or your situation but keep your chin up and keep looking forward and just know someone out there feels how you feel.

I remember being a huge fan of Muse in early 2000's, when I was in high school. The last album I remember was Black Holes and Revelations, but my favorites were Absolution and Origin of Symmetry. After high school I got too busy with life and didn't explore new music, so I missed The Resistance and The 2nd Law, and kind of forgot about Muse altogether.

Years later, I'm driving home from work, listening to the local alternative rock radio station, on quiet. This song starts playing. Within the first few seconds I thought "Wow, this is a really good beat" so I turn it up. Not two seconds after hearing "Revere a million prayers" I got goosebumps and felt butterflies in my stomach and said out loud "Holy shit, it's Muse!"

When I got home the first thing I did was look up Muse. Low and behold they've release three new albums (this was pre Simulation Theory). I started remembering their old stuff and how much my friends and I loved their music. That night I listened to the first three tracks of Drones on YouTube... and then bought all their albums (I had CDs of Absolution and Revelations and had lost them). I remember laying on the couch, headphones blaring, listening to Drones and just thinking, "Wow."

This song might be my favorite Muse song ever because whenever I hear it (regularly) I think back to that night where I heard it for the first time and credit it with reintroducing me to Muse - in my opinion the best rock band of the 21st century.

She played me and I was a fool, she was a total actress and I thought she loved me. I gave too much, I drained myself.

They were never married, ended engagement. Also:

Bellamy revealed that the lead single 'Dead Inside' was inspired by "a relationship ending and a person becoming dead inside themselves". Bellamy concluded: "I went very internal, very into my paranoias, weird feelings and life experiences. It’s quite personal. There isn't a lot of love on this album."

Oh? Aku? Jiwaku mati?
Aku sudah ratusan kali mati, tp di hidupkan lagi oleh Allah, jasadku di perbaiki lagi oleh Allah, dalam semalam aku pernah dibunuh lebih dari 50x
Tp dihidupkan lagi oleh Allah ,,
Kadang ga merasakan sedih atau senang, semua datar. Tp yg hidup hanya cinta pada Allah dan keluarga

Love the drums and synth bass in this song. And I'm a metal-head

I have commented on Resistance but the same comment applies here. I do not know how I did not realize how much Matt Bellamy's voice sends electricity down my neck and spine for years. While aware that Muse existed and appreciated many of their songs, I only recently came to notice the effect his voice has on me. He is not the only one to have such an effect, but he is in a very small group. After realizing this, I can envision still being a fan in 40 years.
